Photographic memories
Scanners on our love affair
Like we were the L.A. Times
The headlines read, 'Beware'
I don't deal in hearsay
Calculation ain't my game
But today I see you
And I hang my head in shame
Lipstick on your collar
And the color isn't mine
White lines on the dresser
And you even drank my wine
Babe, your face is flushed
It's more than just a hunch
Tell me, what's this fear
Maybe she's still here
Baby, you're an alibi
You cross your heart and hope to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby, you're an alibi
Looking out the window
I can hear an engine roar
Cobalt Blue Pantera dashes through the garage door
Scanners on our love affair
Like we were the L.A. Times
The headlines read, 'Beware'
I don't deal in hearsay
Calculation ain't my game
But today I see you
And I hang my head in shame
Lipstick on your collar
And the color isn't mine
White lines on the dresser
And you even drank my wine
Babe, your face is flushed
It's more than just a hunch
Tell me, what's this fear
Maybe she's still here
Baby, you're an alibi
You cross your heart and hope to die
Promising to tell no lies
Baby, you're an alibi
Looking out the window
I can hear an engine roar
Cobalt Blue Pantera dashes through the garage door
